Katia and Barbie -thanks for advice. I have tended to do well on protein, but am paying attention to that as well. My sons, while they don’t offer much in the way of advice unless I ask, have on occasion reminded me that protein is important. I don’t add much salt to food, but am starting to realize how much there is in things.
Congrats on good blood work RV Rita, and your weight loss. I think the fewer medicines we can be on the better off we are.
I count the trip to the County Fair a NSV. I did get the grilled pork chop and an ear of fresh from the field sweet corn. Both were most excellent. I passed up all of the less than healthy options (cotton candy, waffles, funnel cake, etc.). I reminded myself how tired I would be all afternoon if I consumed those carbs. Weather was wonderful for being out there.
Got workout in tonight that I missed last night and that feels good. Several have commented that they have increased their exercise and miss it, I am becoming the same. If I don't get minimal steps in (10,000), I just feel off. I find myself looking forward to days with kettle bells and resistance. I only spend about 30 minutes at it but it is making me feel better and helping with toning.
Good evening to all,
Ginny in Ohio5 -
Thank you all for celebrating my results with me! You girls are the best!

Heather: I may have already mentioned a heat wave during my childhood in the 1950’s. We had a basement that was cool, but it was not living space. It was filled with the furnace and other stuff. Mom and I walked to the grocery store and on our way home she broke an egg on the sidewalk just to see what it would do. It fried right up. As I remember, we just left it there, and kept on walking toward home. It is a happy memory now. Once we got home we sat at the kitchen table with an electric fan blowing over a tray of ice cubes. It felt wonderful.
Rita: Celebrate your NSV—no longer diabetic is a very big deal. Liver improvements are another big deal. You are doing great!!! WTG!!! :flowerforyou:
My husband’s iphone died after many years of service. We just came home from the Apple Palace, my name for it, in NW Portland with a new one. The people who helped us were wonderful. He’s now learning how the new one works.

Rita wow. Just wow. So happy for you as your hard work is paying off.
kJ what a great description of your sister meet up. So glad you had such a good time. Laughter is good for the soul.
Terri. Happy Anniversary. Ireland is so beautiful and your vacation was in a special place.

Did One on One Training with Jackie DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do some HIIT
Tracey – definitely borrow the IP. I kept saying that I didn’t want one, I already had a pressure cooker. And then I tried the one I gave Denise. Now it’s on my Christmas list. Have fun with your cousin
Connie – when I grew up we had air conditioning – it was called “open the window”
Terri – Happy Anniversary. Have fun in Galway City
Barbie – I’d say you were addicted to exercise. But there are certainly worse things you can be addicted to (like drugs). Whenever we stay at a hotel, I always check out the fitness center and use it in the a.m. One time we had to stay at a hotel for the funeral of a cousin of mine and they didn’t have a fitness center. I was so bummed. Wish we had stayed at another hotel. Even her husband said when he heard where we’re staying “oh, that’s not a good place”. I tell you, on the drive home, I was honestly concerned that we’d picked up bedbugs.
After exercise swept the screened in porch for cobwebs then went to another Dollar General and got 3 more small pails. That should be enough for the forks. People don’t use a lot of spoons/knives so I think I can probably put them in this silverware caddy that I have. In a few I’ll probably go in the pool while Vince goes shooting. Afterwards, he has an appt with the dermatologist and then he wants to power wash the back patio. Remember I told you that I got a roll of plastic bags to put on a dowel for wet bathing suits? Well, the thing Vince suggested I put the dowel on doesn’t look nice at all so I got this knee pad (50 cents) and I was thinking that I could cut it in half and put the dowel in that. Vince doesn’t think it’s thick enough. I wondered why we couldn’t just glue two together, it’s not like it’s going to be outside so even Elmer’s glue would probably work. Does anyone have any ideas of something else that can be used?
M – sounds to me like you’re addicted to exercise, too. Yes, I heard that plastic bags are banned in certain places.
Some stores around here give you a credit if you use your own bags, so I use mine (hey, anything is a help). The stores that don’t, I usually have them use a plastic bag then reuse it either for litter or donate it to the soup kitchen. I have some heavy bags and some real light ones that I got for free. You get what you pay for. But they work for light things
I know they don’t have a/c in Switzerland because they don’t feel it’s necessary for the few times it would be needed.
Rita – good going! You are amazing all the changes!
Power washed the patio below the deck then got one table for the party put out. Now have a load of laundry in, just took a shower. Soup kitchen tomorrow.

Irish Terri Happy 53rd wedding anniversary! Thank you for posting those photos of Connemara. For a few months in the spring of 1983, I helped a single mom out with her two girls for a couple of hours a day after they got home from school & before she got home from work. One of them was named Connemara. They called her Mara. I had never heard of Connemara until then, but they told me all about it, & I thought it sounded lovely. Turns out, it is quite lovely, as your photos bear witness!

Heather I pulled up BBC One site today thinking I could watch Jessamy live streamed, but they wanted me to pay about £150 to subscribe. Dang. I bought her book but am in the middle of What Unites Us by Dan Rather, so haven't started reading it yet. Looking forward to it! Glad you put your big girl panties on, it's not easy, but you did it! xoxo

Katla Where did you live in the 1950's? The summer I was born, 1954, was really hot in Nebraska, with temperatures reaching 112 degrees 2 or 3 days in July. I was 2 weeks late. My poor mother had a 6 year old & a 3 year old, and I refused to be born. I know she was miserable. We had a swamp cooler in our house. My dad was an expert at finagling it to keep the house relatively cool.2

Mary from Minnesota/Arizona
Same reasons why hardly any houses in Australia have much in the way of insulation or central heating. The temps are moderate enough it wasn't considered all that necessary.
Plus it can be expensive.
M in Oz
BTW - I complain about the cold here sometimes ...
One of the reasons for that is because of the poor building quality.
Most houses have a fraction of the insulation of houses in Canada. Many houses (possibly including the one we live in) have no insulation in the roof. I know there's no insulation under the floor.
Only the most modern and more expensive houses have double glazing on the windows. Most have poorly sealed single pane windows which let the cold breezes in.
Many houses have open ventilation in the toilet room ... a hole in the wall covered by a metal lattice. Ours does, and on an evening when the temp outside drops to 3C, that toilet room is probably about 6C. Or when the wind is coming from that direction, the cold air can howl through the house. We close the toilet room door, but then the toilet room is absolutely freezing.
Because most houses don't have basements, there's no furnace. We're lucky that ours does have a sort of basement, but still no furnace. Heating comes from what is essentially two electric heaters, one with a fan. The one with a fan is called a "split system" so it will provide air conditioning as well.
So ... even if a winter's evening is only down to 3C, our house is cold. We shut the rooms we're not using, close the curtains early, crank up the heaters, and hope for the best.
I've got a blanket I wrap around me and will use my hot water bottle on particularly chilly evenings, and I sleep with my hot water bottle.
Machka in Oz5 -
Hugs all round ladies!
💖Rebecca8 -
Heather & Machka you’re lucky to have such great weather most of the time. I can’t imagine living without AC. It’s so humid in Minnesota. When I was younger I remember using cold wash clothes on my forehead and laying in front of the fan along side of my three sisters!
Rita - congratulations! You have fantastic results!
Mary from Minnesota/Arizona4 -
The weather has been weird all over the world. Around the first of July, the weather people here said we had rain 22 out of 24 weekends. We have had several minor and one moderate flooding event on the river this year. July hits and we have had very little rain suddenly. It was over 90 degrees for 3 weeks. A cold front came Monday and it has been fabulous. I have a second floor bedroom with poor AC, but it has been cool enough at night that I could open the window a bit because it has been down to 60 at night. That is practically unheard of in Louisville in summer!! It’s been so relaxing to listen to the tree frogs at night!
Connie in KY2 -
Tracey I am delighted to hear about your new job. I too have been in meetings where grown men screamed and had temper tantrums, tho' he didn't curse as it was a church council meeting and he was the pastor
. In the business world such misbehaviour has been tolerated way too long (and I am so glad I'm no longer 'one of the boys' :sick:). Sure your new administrator is grateful to have your help and guidance. So happy for you that your long wait was so richly rewarded. Praying the same for Allie. BTW I DOS. 
Connie in KY "hot and humid Louisville KY without air conditioning" Every other July or August we visited relatives in St. Louis and Kansas City. No one had air conditioning, only a window fan and opening front and back doors. Some sweet memories of swinging on the front porch, but this SF Native had to sleep in the bathtub it was so very hot everywhere else...
Allie so happy to hear you are getting calls, the right situation will surely soon appear!
Terri A VERY happy 53rd anniversary to you and your hubs. Great pics. Just love your eyes! Remind me of my aunt Margaret.
Heather and Viv that much heat where a/c is non-standard is just killing. I'd be on my butt in the bathtub with a cool cloth over my head! Rails buckling from the heat? O M G !
KJ your sister day sounds like just what the Dr. ordered. WTG!
Barbie would you share the name of the blue anti-stink poop bags?
Amber, LOL! Back in college I was on a team that had a "project" (cardboard box with sand/gravel/dirt and salted with "artifacts" to excavate) that was tainted by a boy friend of one of the gals. He messed up our stratigraphy by sticking a condom down in the dirt. It was a surprise when unearthed! We described it as an unknown artifact of presumed ritual significance. ;}
Katla 50th next March. W O W ! "Apple Palace" LMAO!
Beth I'd not heard of NYKaren's Brussels sprouts and wouldn't eat salmon even if it DID lower my LDL but yes raw almonds, avocados, oats and activity are known LDL reducers. Just be sure to allow for the calories in the 50 g avocado or 28 g almonds, they are significant!
Rita she-who-is-no-longer-a-diabetic Hip hip HOORAY!!! Well done and inspiring! WTG gal friend!
Rori, as I was scanning your post my mind substituted "velociraptors" what an image to see them stampeding down the gulch toward your pool! :noway:
Lisa safe travels!
Ginny well done for passing up the less healthy fair offerings. Brava!
Local Thai restaurant hosts an open mic every other Thursday this summer. Went there this evening to hear one of my T'ai Chi buddies sing (and enjoy the food and beer.) Ran into a couple met at line dancing who invited me to sit with them. We had a blast. A couple of the performers sang Beatles songs and encouraged audience participation. The relaxed, far away, happy, nostalgic looks on peoples faces as we all sang "Yesterday"...
have I told you lately how much I love this place?
Lighter, lovelies!

It was, they say, the hottest day ever on record in Paris yesterday. Very few individuals have AC in most of France. Usually it gets cool at night (60s -70s) but it didn't really -went down to 80s or 90 at 4 am -7 am or so.
Traditionally the old stone houses with thick walls did a good job of keeping out the heat. I was in one in 2003 when we had our last major heat wave and it was ok.
I had a cold (or gluten reaction, I had a beer at a friend's on Sunday, very exceptionally), and a low fever (just about 100 degrees) at the same time. I was walking very slowly so that elderly people were passing me on the street, and spent much of the day in bed with fan blowing on cool bottle of water and wet towel to keep the temperature down to 90 and not 107 as it was outside. Windows and shades closed to keep out heat, til it gets cool and open up between about 4 am and 8 am or so. Not a great feeling.
I found out they were making city halls with AC available to go and cool off. I probably would have gone had I known.
the movies playing nearby didn't really call to me and you can only spend so much time in a shop.
Still have a cold (or gluten reaction or reaction to pollution) but it's "only" going to be 85 today and not 107 like yesterday. It's supposed to rain tonight and the heat wave will break. thank goodness. I usually do fine in hot weather but not so much this time.4 -
thanks for the shout out auntie B! I'm overwhelmed by so many pages since last post 3 days ago.1

Morning, afternoon and evening, all...
Up far too early, but slightly stressed, and hoping the body will cooperate. The doctor-recommended fiber had far beyond the effects it was supposed to, so my gut is not happy. Just really tired of my body not working correctly. But, coffee is uploading, and I'll be my cheerful self shortly, one hopes. I'm also a big, fat dreader, I always have been, but once I'm up in the middle of the event/travel/whatever I've been dreading, I do fine.
Case in point: tonight's evening event, the block party, is taking over the museum and store area around the Purse Museum in downtown Little Rock. I find the whole notion a bit esoteric, and don't carry a purse for a lot of different reasons. The biggest one being, while they do make them big enough to hold a laptop, you'll dislocate your shoulder hauling it around for very long, so I tend to use a backpack to distribute the weight. What's funny about that is that I have designed and created more than one quilted purse (one of the few creations I've actually sold!) Still won't haul one around, though.
Nonetheless, I'll probably enjoy it when I get there, even if it's just my own inner, hopefully unvoiced questions of "why the heck would anyone ever use one of those?" Trying to "flip the script" to making it a place to get new ideas for constructing future ones. And, I'm not taking my laptop with me, for a change, as there won't be any place to store it safely, so just taking my Fire tablet in my suitcase. I'll regret that in the morning, but not for long, as our first meeting to get organized for conference day is at 7 a.m.
Love y'all,
Lisa in AR2 -
morning ladies~
I am up and having my tea and will watch Joyce in a minute on my laptop.I usually do that in the mornings..I enjoy getting up before it gets light and I put out the FD meal worms as soon as I get up so my birdie friends can have breakfast without anyone yapping at me.. no bird feeder so no nasty grams.
I am assisting today and tomorrow and then that will be done..
and what I do give my DFIL is either chef boy r dee or compleats which are microwavable...0 -
Rained overnight and much cooler today. I hope to get out for a run this pm. My knee is clicking a bit, so I hope it holds up. All the rowing I have done in the hot weather may have pulled my knee a bit. It doesn't hurt, so, if I take it easy, it might be ok.
Haven't decided what to have for dinner. I'm out of ideas.
Going to wash the guest linen ready for Monday when my friend stays. I've been sleeping in her bed!
I'm entertaining the kids and their ex nanny on Wednesday, the day after the reunion. I had a menu planned, but my son says the nanny is very, very picky and hardly eats anything.
Hmmmmmm. I think chicken is on the menu, but I've got to get everything in advance.
I'm feeling a bit confused with trying to fit all the commitments in.

Well, the houses here have been built with the theory that we've got great weather most of the time. Unfortunately, the weather isn't particularly brilliant much of the time. It's so chilly and often wet down here in Tasmania for at least 6 months of the year ... and then on the mainland, some places are blazing hot in summer and chilly & wet in winter, others are just hot most of the time.
For reasons that I can't figure out, many houses here are more or less shells. Newer ones might have a little electric heater. Older ones are heated with a fireplace ... we lived in one like that for a while. Gorgeous house but so cold in the mornings in winter after the fire in the main part of the house had gone out. The hardwood floor would be almost frosty. We lived in a town on the edge of the Snowy Mountains, in between two ski mountains then.
And then, if it gets hot in summer, the houses get really hot.
The houses here are also very noisy because of the lack of insulation and double glazing. When someone walks past, it sounds like they've come right up to the window.
I lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba for a lot of years, and I'd call most of the houses here "3-season" houses.
My husband and I have said that if we ever came into some money, we'd like to build a house to Canadian standards. We figure that we wouldn't have to put heating or air con in it! Decent insulation would make such a difference.

Lisa Oh my gosh, thanks for posting that Purse Museum link. The 'Girl Scouts Through the Decades' exhibit looks very interesting, the previous exhibits are fascinating, I want to go! This is almost as good as Julia Child's kitchen at the Smithsonian!!! Right up there with the Micromosaics.
Barbara Your high school friend's boyfriend was quite the imaginative prankster, LOL!!! Too funny.

Great NSV for me yesterday! I am no longer a diabetic with my A1C down to 5.1!! My liver has healed as well! Doc has cut my BP meds in half, lowered my thyroid meds, and removed 2 supplements that I no longer need which all were contributing to my bowel issues and lightheaded symptoms of late! Feel better all ready! Still have to visit gastroenterologist and cardiologist to make sure all is good. I’m also only 5 pounds away from a normal weight for my height and age. All this improvement since starting the LCHF way of eating in December! First time in 35 years I’ve had a great results at doc! I’m usually getting more meds not less!

Happy Friday, Ladies! I'm playing catch-up here.
RVRita - Wonderful news on all fronts for you.
Please tell us again your target metrics on carb grams. Also, do you isolate the sugar carbs as well? And what's your total weight loss to date?
Rori - a bear! What excitement! Folks often spot them about a mile from us along the powerline, they must have plenty to eat so steer clear of our pocket of suburbia. So glad you have a pool there in your complex and are able to enjoy it. Do they keep it heated and open in the winter?
Lisa - I can see why you are such a fan of Oat Bran, great results there with the lower LDL. So glad your tests came out OK.
NYKaren - thank you for the link on lowering cholesterol. Always good to have reminders on while I'm making out my grocery list.
The last CSA box had small red beets, plenty of great looking potatoes (we don't eat many) and a big zucchini. I need to get the beets cooked up and maybe slice/sauté the zucchini. Hopefully the potatoes will keep for a long while tucked into the fridge crisper. Crossing fingers I'll start getting plenty of green beans, most of which I'll blanche and freeze IQF on a cookie sheet. Love them in the winter and added to soups and stews.
Beth - hope your comments made an impact on getting your DS's housing situation/care improved.
LuciB - Absolutely adorable grandchildren! Serene and beautiful FL photo! Thanks for sharing!
Ginny - I can smell the fair food from here! Grilled pork chops and corn sound yummy, glad you were able to avoid the sweet stuff!
Terri - Happy 53rd! Thank you for the photos of your beautiful country! Glad your boat is all fixed up! Any fishermen in the family, by the way?
Machka - so interesting about the home construction in your area, almost sounds like the tropics (from what I've read.) Your description takes me back to my childhood home, northern Indiana. No central heat/furnace, Dad put in an LP (Propane) gas heater in the living room and cut a hole in the ceiling above it to heat the upstairs where the kids' bedrooms were & stuck a register there. Insulation in the house built in the mid 1800's was lath & plaster, single pane windows. I can remember trying to find a warm place to lay out my books and do homework in the winter, and that's really the only complaint I recall having a childhood which, by today's standards, would be poverty in the US. Hot summer nights - we kids slept outside and thought it was exciting until the mosquitos chased us back inside.
Today, we're very grateful for A/C!!
Lisa - love the "Time has a caterpillar has expired"
Still no word on the results of my ultrasound on Tuesday, but no news is good news - I guess - in that they didn't find anything super nasty in there. Just hoping they found something that explains this pain and is fixable.
On another front, I finally broke down and got a new blood pressure device. We had two whose results were getting iffy, one was at least 25 years old, the newer one, 15. So now have an Omron which is nifty.
I'm afraid I've been straying from my plan, so will start posting it as a reminder.
Make it a great day, ladies!

Happily ...
When I left work today, I noticed that it wasn't pitch black!! We've gained 23 minutes of daylight!!
It was pitch black by the time I got home, but still it was nice to walk out of work and actually be able to see a bit.
I've been organising the dressing room, and today, I found a pair of slippers I haven't seen in ages. I think I brought them from Canada. I have a pair of really heavy-duty slippers for the particularly cold evenings, but these are perfect for mildly chilly evenings.
I'm sort of getting on top of things at work too.
And it's Friday evening!!
